Ah, Clammish as she is, she is not announcing, loudly, the anniversary of her birth!

Here’s a little song for you:
“Happy birthday to you!  Happy birthday to you!  We missed you at chur-urch!  But we prayed for you, too!”

It’s an occasion to rejoice!  Yippee-skippee!  The Clam was born!  On the baptism of Jesus this year, too — how cool is that?  As we are all called to a renewal of our baptismal promises, does this also mean that The Clam, as this is her day, too, must seek inside herself to discern Christ’s calling of her life and the meaning of that?
